Is Clinton Urling against employment?
Dear Editor,
Clinton Urling writes a letter appearing in your paper on 25 April captioned “Critical look at the Durban Park project” in which he objects to the construction of the D’Urban Park stadium being undertaken by the Ministry or Public Infrastructure. Can Mr. Urling explain why at a time when the GoG is trying to create employment that he would suggest we pay for foreign workers to build the stadium? Let’s not fool ourselves; such a stadium would have to be constructed by technicians from the company providing the stands. We don’t have such a company in Guyana and so would have to contract a foreign company to assemble, disassemble, then assemble again.
Also, why would we send the money out of the country to do this, when we have the expertise in Guyana? Please explain. The fact is that there are great structures all over the world built of wood. These structures have been standing for years and are feats of engineering. If memory serves, we have one of these great structures in the center of Georgetown, to think of only one. The fact is that whether the structure is wood or steel, the same issues of demolition and disposal would be present. His critique make no sense. Great job Minister Patterson!
